What aspect of homesteading life increased western womens eagerness for oppurtunities outside the home?

The demanding and often isolating nature of homesteading life increased Western women's eagerness for opportunities outside the home by exposing them to the harsh realities of rural living, which required resilience and resourcefulness. Many women found themselves managing farms, raising children, and handling domestic responsibilities with little support, leading them to seek community engagement and economic independence. The challenges of homesteading also highlighted their capabilities, fostering a desire for broader roles in society, such as participating in local businesses, education, and advocacy movements. This shift marked a significant step toward greater autonomy and involvement beyond traditional domestic confines.
